Cityscape Christmas 2019
Bring on the party, Cityscapers! Addington Cup Week kicks off the season we love to love, and we are sooo ready. We bring you all the deets on the biggest week in Christchurch’s social calendar. Important information like what the judges are looking for in The Crossing Fashion Starts Here Best Dressed Competition and stuff about the racing as well, like pointers on how to pick a winner. And thanks to Callam Mitchell and his team at Team Event, Addington Cup Week is just the start of party season. We talk to the promoter putting the icing on Christchurch’s cake this summer. Ladi6 is just one of the fantastic artists he is bringing to town, and we check in with her as well (that’s her gorgeous self on the cover). The days are counting down to Christmas and with that comes the fun and the challenge of finding the perfect gift for all those on your ‘Nice’ list. We live to serve here at Cityscape, and so we have served up a curated Christmas gift guide brimming with ideas fresh and failsafe. Nailing that pressy list is the best reason possible for heading to the central city and exploring its retail hotspots, followed by a drink and some nibbles, of course. We shine our spotlight on what’s new in the inner city, from retail meccas to the hottest hospo hangouts. And if 2020 is looking like the year to put a ring on it, check out our feature on the amazingly creative community of jewellers we have in this city. As always, we also bring you what’s hot in cuisine, events, home and couture.

THE ELEMENTS OF ART
Don Service is the talent behind RightSide Gallery at
14 Tyne Street in Addington, where you’ll discover more
than just paint on canvas. The stunning space has been a
long-held dream for Don, who has always wanted a
workshop and showroom where he can make designs and
do various other jobs such as art repairs, frame making,
design and build items for shopfitting and stretching
clients’ art, building plinths for sculptures and have a base
for his art hanging business. This funky studio is home to a
collection of pieces made using form, texture and colour.
Don loves to work with solid timber, steel and rust, and
plywood, which he uses to create shapes that play with the
eye, cast shadows and look amazing. RightSide is also a
showroom for Don and fellow artists he has met through
exhibiting at art shows around the country. All are very
talented, motivated and cool. Some of the other artists on
show include Joel Hart, Rachel Rush,Charles Hannah,
Hamish Anderson, Glen Jorna, Sarah Albisser, Stef Gray,
Yana Meech and Hamish Brotherstone. RightSide is a
viewing by appointment gallery and will also be available
for solo shows and new artists looking for an exhibition
space. For all enquiries call 021 238 1501. Be sure to check
out the ever-evolving gallery and enjoy the art on offer.
